Danica Patrick joining Ed Carpenter Racing for Indy 500 swansong

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Danica Patrick rarely gets flustered during interviews, but she was certainly annoyed - at herself - Wednesday when she mistakenly indicated she will drive for Ed Carpenter Racing in the Indianapolis 500.

During Daytona 500 media day, Patrick was asked about when she will start getting into Indianapolis 500 mode.

"I didn't have time to meet up with Ed and the people that ...," she said before pausing.

The 35-year-old Patrick had not said which team she would drive for at Indy because a big announcement was planned for what will be the final race of her career.
